@@JeremyHobbs People need to remember a majority watching the shuttle flights at the time were Americans. This is why the the commentators used the imperial system. In the 1970s, there was an effort to convert over to metric. Many of our signs had both imperial and metric, but that was abandoned when it became clear many Americans resisted the change. Big business over here did not want to go through the time and expense it would take to convert.

The Endeavour, being the youngest, could have safely continued with space missions after the others retired (with two of them having disintegrated, if wanting to split hairs about it) for a while. So, maybe it was actually built at about the same time as the others, and kept in secret storage. At the time of the Challenger disaster I then thought it was strange that the Endeavour was there and doing its space missions so soon afterward. And, maybe there was more to that retiring, than for safety reasons.

The engines take fuel. The fuel tank was jettisoned on launch. They have power, just no engine thrust.

@Hal 9000 what are trying to say? Of course their used for launch only. The orbiter still has power on the way down from other systems.

touch down speed is around 185kt. similar to the no flaps landing of airliner

Except an airliner has a glide ratio of 18:1 and aspect ratio of 10 or so. While orbiter has a whopping 4.5:1 glide ratio at best and an aspect ratio of 2.2! This is not reality folks. It's tv

It's a shame that the Shuttle program wasn't safer. I miss seeing the views from space and all the astronauts do. The launches are incredible and so are the landing. Simply amazing to see a giant glider land like it does

Dave Ackerson over 125+ launches and landings of the most dangerous and complex machine ever designed and you don’t think the Shuttle program was safe? I’ll be astronauts would beg to differ.

KSC? I thought they always only landed at EAB, 'cos I thought that was the only place that had a runway long enough. Am I missing something here?

Yep. The intention was to land in Florida every mission except the first flight of each orbiter. Edwards was a backup. 54 missions out of 135 landed at Edwards mostly because of Florida weather.

Most major airports in the world have a runway long enough. They land at KSC whenever they can because it is cheapest for getting the shuttle back to the Orbiter Processing Facility. The shuttle landed at Edwards early in the program because you didn't have to make precision landings there. Later, they only landed there if the weather was bad in Florida. They only landed there 9 times after 1996.

Ambient microphone at the landing site being hit, more than likely. Probably wind and some grass/tree leaves hitting it. Not too sure, however. That'd be my guess.
